³I will set no ^(A)worthless thing before my eyes;
I hate the ^[a]work of those who ^(B)fall away;
It shall not fasten its grip on me.
⁴A ^(C)perverse heart shall depart from me;
I will know no evil.
⁵Whoever secretly ^(D)slanders his neighbor, him I will ^[b]destroy;
No one who has a ^(E)haughty look and an arrogant heart will I endure.
